After watching a female judge sentence a child with autism for killing his rapist and childhood abuser, after he was acquited by a male judge years before, I kind of lost faith in all types of judicial process. AI needs to take over for such things.

You mean when she sentenced a 25 year old with autism of stabbing a bedridden post-stroke 74 year old to death? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-62332824

You're really misrepresenting the case, and I doubt a good AI would rule favorably on those circumstances. The judicial system doesn't tend to go easy on stabbing defenseless people to death, even if you can argue that they were bad people or otherwise deserved it.

If I was bedridden for probably the rest of my life, I’d really appreciate if someone stabbed me to death.

An AI would be trained on human decisions, and unless we're careful it can easily have the same biases as human decision making.

[istinetz]

at least some biases we can avoid. We can scrub the training data from mentioning gender or race. We can not include photos of people, to avoid the attractiveness halo effect.

This goes against double jeopardy. Do you have a reference?

[morelisp]

I believe "he was acquitted" refers to the abuser, not the killer.

[jagged-chisel]

This makes more sense than my reading.
